His Purchased Wife

Chapter 68.

Liam remained standing, Susan walked with Aurora towers still holding his gaze. Something Aurora

said on the island clicked in his mind about Susan.

She was the one with whom Aurora wanted to hook me up. Too bad, the girl was not to Liam's taste

and Liam was certainly not a 'B' man.

He could sense that the girl gazing at him with calculating eyes felt responsible for Aurora but he didn't

know till what extent and he was soon to be found out.

"I thought you came alone, Aurora,won't you introduce me to Mr…"

"Ya!" Aurora muttered, "Mr Knight, she is my friend cum sister, Susan and Susan mee our boss, Liam

Knight."

Susan's brows jerked up. "Ah! The same Liam knight who asked for your hand…" she drawled And

Aurora stiffened, fearing how it must have felt to Liam and cursing herself, the way she told her friends

about that incident was like a story of a comedy film. She glared at Susan, gesturing not to speak

further about it but Susan wouldn't be Susan if she did it.

"The Very same," Liam said with a forced smile, he offered his hand to her and Susan accepted it. Still,

her eyes were on him, they left each other's hand and she turned to Aurora.

"Mr Knight is right, Aurora. You should go and try it on. It will look perfect on your curves."

Aurora gulped. She recalled how Gabe used to tell her that short dresses made her look fat and she

should try to wear long and loose clothes to hide her belly. Aurora tried to make him understand that

she has a perfect figure but gradually she started dressing up the way he wanted. Yes, after taking off

his ring she started wearing clothes of her choice but still, she felt Gabe's disappointed gaze when she

used to wear short body clinging dresses.

Liam handed her the dress, "try it." He ordered her.

She took the dress from his hands and went with the attendant to try it.

When she was finally out of their Vision, Susan turned to Liam, "you are still interested in her, right?"

She asked, with a sharpening gaze, crossing her hands to her chest.

Liam was impressed. The girl was courageous and now he understood why Aurora talked so highly

about her. "Maybe," he replied, "or I could have some ulterior motive. Anything was possible," he

played with her mind.

At that, Susan took a step forward, fixed him with a look of sheer protectiveness towards Aurora. "Then

I suggest you stay the fuck away from my girl because you have no idea to which level I can stoop to

save my girl. I have done it before and I will do it again, so be careful."

The beast inside Liam raised his angry head ready to pounce on her but he ordered it to remain calm,

now was not the time to show either of these friends what Liam Knight was capable of doing.

Liam's lips tugged downwards, he nodded his head. "Understood, Miss Susan and I like this

protectiveness you have for Aurora And to answer your question," he said with a calm and serious

face, "I am always interested in Aurora. She needs someone who can understand her. She is like a

butterfly and I want to see her fly."

She can fly all she wants but the sky she flies is going to be mine. She can flutter her wings however

she wants but she would be able to do it only when I want.

Because I am going to own her, mind. body. soul.

Susan sharpened her eyes and was about to speak but then her eyes went to. Aurora's a walking

figure who looked glamorous in that red sparkly dress. Liam followed her haze and was stunned to see

Aurora.

His breath stopped seeing her in that dress, her golden blonde hair pulled up in a bow complimenting

the dress. "Fuck!" He whispered, lost in her beauty.

"How is it?" Aurora asked. I assured them about herself in that dress, she turned around and Liam's

heart thumped loudly. He was just lost in her beauty!

Meanwhile, Susan's eyes sparkled when she saw a glimpse of old Aurora in her eyes today. It was just

her confidence that was missing. She missed how Aurora used to smile while trying new clothes but

today her eyes were holding questions and that questioning gaze gave Susan the reason to kill that

son of a bitch, Gabriel.

Before she could even reply, once again Liam beat it to her. "You look breathtaking but there is one

thing missing," Aurora frowned, before she could ask what he meant, Liam pulled the hairpin out of her

and her hair fell on her shoulders. "Now it's perfect."

Aurora kept staring at Liam's beautiful face. Lost in his dark eyes, "Shall we move on?"

Liam chuckled when her brows jerked together, seeing the confusion on her face he touched a lock of

her golden hair and nudged it lightly on her shoulder, "you said you have to shop for makeup, jewellery,

shoes and so on. If your dress is final we can move on to other stuff," he went near her ear and

whispered softly, "Mrs Knight."

Aurora took a sharp breath, her eyes settled on Susan who was looking at everything with a sharp

gaze. Aurora pushed Liam a little, aware of Susan's scrutinised gaze who was looking at them with

raised brows.

Liam's lips pulled in a wide grin when he noticed her flushed cheeks and that intense look in her

"I think I can accompany her now, Mr Knight. You are a busy man, I am sure you must have other

urgent matters to look at."

Before Liam could speak his cell phone started ringing. He pulled it out of his pocket and checked the

caller ID. It was Ryan, it could be something important, still, he didn't accept the call.

"I know what's important for me, Miss Susan. I have my priority set and Aurora is on top of everything

else." He replied looking straight into her eyes, indirectly telling her to not cross her limits.

And Aurora's heart flipped hearing Liam, as the memory of Gabe always choosing his work over her

hurted her to the core but she always told herself that his work was more important. And today Liam

choosing her over his work was too emotional for her.

It was not only Aurora who was impressed by this, even Susan was impressed by this act of his. "Let's

go," Liam said while Susan moved forward and stepped beside Aurora who walked with Susan with a

heavy throat as they moved towards the cosmetic part of the store.

Once again, Liam shocked both the friends when he suggested that Aurora should wear something

dark on her lips while she chose a light shaded lipstick. And once again, the memory of her wearing a

dark shade with Gabe's disapproving gaze hit her. She recalled how he told her that she looked like the

woman of the world in this shade and here Liam was asking her to try a bright red lipstick.

Liam kept watching her while she applied the lipstick on her lips. Bright red. The colour of blood, the

colour which Liam liked the most. Aurora gulped, she glanced at Susan who nodded in agreement as

well.

"You look confident in this shade, Aurora," Susan commented while Liam swallowed the heaviness in

his throat. The look she had in this bright red lipstick could make any man fall on his knees in raw need.

Aurora was happy. She felt like herself with Liam and why not. She didn't have to behave in a certain

way while she spent time with him. No restrictions on her clothes, makeup and most importantly she

could speak the way she wanted contrary to the way she used to behave with Gabriel. It was not like

he forced or asked her to behave in a certain way, no he never did that but she felt obliged to do it,

anyway because she wanted to make him happy. She wanted their relationship to be perfect but in

doing so she lost herself and now, Liam was asking her to do things that she always liked doing

anyway.

Liam's phone buzzed one more time, he glanced at the caller ID. This time it was his brother,

something clicked in his mind. He could sense that there was something wrong. His brother and father

called in a span of half an hour.

Aurora saw that he was not accepting the call but she could sense that the call was important. "Take

the call, we are done with shopping anyways."

"If you insist," saying that he accepted the call and walked a little away from them. "Is there something

important, Ralph? Dad called and now you?"

"An attack on one of Ethan's warehouses. Five hundred million of gold was stolen away and ten people

were killed. Ethan is raging, he called dad and they had this talk. Friend or not, he wants you to work

your magic on his daughter…"

"Ralph, I am not his slave he could order around. I respect him and his friendship with dad but that

doesn't mean I would accept everything he speaks. Tell him, he has spoiled his daughter for good and

now I am bearing the consequences of that."

Drawing a sharp breath, Ralph speaks. "He is in a dangerous position, Liam. We both know Ethan, he

is a brutal fucker but when it comes to his daughter…"NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"His daughter is not in Churchill but here in Vancouver, with me, Liam Knight and it should have been

enough for him to calm his mind and he should be thinking about introducing me as his heir in the

mafia jury," Liam rubbed his head, inhaled sharply and asked, "Who attacked? any information?"

"Who else! The Mexicans. I don't know but there is something we don't know, Liam. All these attacks

seem more personal?"

Liam sighed. "I don't have time to talk more, I will talk with Ethan tonight and what about the meeting I

asked you to set with the Italians? Any success there?"

"In talking with them, I think I would be able to make it," Ralph said while checking the account details

of one of his clubhouses

"See to it," saying that he ended the call and turned towards the girls. He walked back to them. " If you

got everything you wanted, shall we leave then?"

Aurora nodded. "But we have to take the shopping bags from the counter, first," she reminded him.

"Let's go to the counter then," he whispered and they both walked towards the counter to get the

shopping bags.

Susan stared at their walking figures of Liam and Aurora. She didn't like Aurora with Gabriel. When

Aurora first introduced him to her she was fine with him but slowly she noticed this change in Aurora.

The girl who was confident about her body started wearing clothes which she never liked. The big

foodie starts eating food which she didn't like and the most disturbing thing was how she used to

behave around Gabriel, always trying to impress him as if he was the king of somewhere and she was

his slave who needed his master's permission to do anything.

Today she noticed how Liam didn't choose work over Aurora and if it would have been Gabriel instead

of Liam he would have accepted the calls and left leaving Aurora on her own.

Liam also matched Aurora's status. He could give her the lifestyle she was habitual with unlike Gabriel

who wanted to mould Aurora to fit in his world.

Susan glanced at both of them, Aurora being like her old self in his company. Happy. Funny and most

importantly confident.

Liam Knight, if you are what you show, you could be the man for my Aurora. One last test and I will

help you win the heart of my girl.
